...and it ain’t just right-wingers FFS.

To add on that, it wasn’t just her, but another trans athlete then took that other top spot while competing. While the article does mock a lot the fact that the girl who made the complaint came in sixth in the race, it does ignore the girls who came in 3rd and 4th. It is true that those girls did not complain, at…

I’m so torn on this article. At the same time, I’m deeply sympathetic towards Andraya about her struggles and the abuse she had to face. She is a person who should be allowed to live her life without being the focus of such mean spirited persecution. However, at the same time, I already knew from past experience on…

In a more sane world, everyone would just use the NCAA’s testosterone policy, and then be open to monitoring outcomes over the course of years or even decades as we continue to accrue more observations of trans athletes. This is a topic where I don’t really care about people’s opinions right now. I think the…

Hey that’s me! I wasn’t far off. Nailed the title.

I understand the point she was trying to make, but I still resent the association.

I personally find it hilarious that, on any given day, I can be sneered “for destroying the planet” (an actual note on my Tundra in my previous neighborhood), followed almost immediately by “your EV is stupid and you’re a hippie” when I run errands in the eGolf.

It’s only trucks that need to justify themselves to this type of person by working at their capacity all the time too.

I’ve always found it weird that people concern themselves with what other people are buying. I have a truck. It’s really no one’s business other than my own as to why I have a truck.
